Could You Win Golf Digest Honors?

OK, there’s still some golf to be played in November and December, but it’s that time of year when we start to think about season superlatives. And not just in the pro game. Who among all the duffers, amateurs and weekend warriors out there in Golf Land also did something truly remarkable in 2024? (Did Read more…

An inside look at the new way to get onto any private course

An inside look at the new way to get onto any private course

Ihave friends who are crushing the singles scene. Not to say they aren’t handsome, charming fellas who wouldn’t have met such desirable women in due time, but the Internet has no doubt hastened the efficiency and rapidity with which they land dates. When it comes to overachieving, it’s also a new era for being a Read more…

Who is the greatest golfer-tennis player?

Who is the greatest golfer-tennis player?

Before we try to answer the question, one thing to set straight: Any cultural rivalry between golf and tennis is like Australia versus New Zealand. Their proximity amid sequestration intensifies some ill feelings—I play golf where the tennis courts sit exposed to power hooks off the first tee, which draws disdainful comments from both sides Read more…

What’s a 6-handicap, really?

On the right day and right course, you’ll break 80. Congratulations. As a 6-handicap, you’re in the top quarter of male golfers—top 3 percent for females—according to the United States Golf Association. A professional career isn’t happening anytime soon, but you should be proud of the level you’ve attained. Perhaps similar dedication and talent has Read more…

How Bryson DeChambeau became the best golfer on YouTube

Dare we say everything in the golf world is starting to make sense? A horse named Dornoch won the Belmont Stakes, and a week later a hoss named DeChambeau wins by a nose over another favorite down the stretch at Pinehurst. We felt this was coming. Four weeks ago, 36 hours after Bryson DeChambeau left Read more…

Where is the best golf town in America?

Where is the best golf town in America? At first the mind wanders southerly, looking for clusters of famous or at least very good courses with warm weather. But that’s a narrow approach. Maybe a better consideration is, where would you raise your children if you were hellbent on cultivating within them your love for Read more…

DJing a four-hour round is a big responsibility

This May I’m missing my 20-year college reunion to play in a four-day event celebrating the 25th anniversary of Bandon Dunes, at Bandon Dunes. If only more of life’s decisions were this kind of hard. I equate it with choosing music or no music on the golf course. Either way, I’m going to have a Read more…

In praise of vests

Are all golf vests blue? Of course not, but my travels across the golf shops and putting greens of North America suggest it is so. Among my sleeveless souvenirs are a couple with logos so powerful they stop more conversations than they start. Like the salt in my hair, looking in the mirror at these Read more…

What Tiger and Phil can work on for the next year

AUGUSTA, Ga.—Last place and tied for 43rd, the respective finishes of Tiger Woods and Phil Mickelson at the 88th Masters. Of the 60 players who made the cut, they ranked 52nd and 59th in driving distance—only Jose Maria Olazabal hit it shorter. With their eight green jackets, Tiger and Phil’s collective experience at Augusta National Read more…

Masters 2024: In defense of Jason Day’s pants

AUGUSTA, Ga.,—Automatic acridity toward anything different is what you might expect on social media, but under the Big Tree at Augusta National words are chosen more carefully. Many golf agents and business leaders were reluctant to assign a dollar value to a Thursday afternoon tee time alongside Tiger Woods, but nodded knowingly. Some wizened green Read more…

Why Nick Dunlap is a smart kid leaving college to turn pro

Our cover star has the rare distinction of being the only golfer ever to win his way out of playing Augusta. The reigning U.S. Amateur champ had a personal trip to Augusta National lined up for February, but winning The American Express in January threw a wrench. After the rhetorical decision to turn pro and Read more…

How Will We Celebrate?: Let’s steer golf’s popularity the right way

The other day I heard a somewhat disturbing story from a golf coach. He was at a PGA Jr. League event, which, as you know, is that innovative and excellent program modeled after Little League baseball in which teams of kids wearing individually numbered “golf jerseys” compete against other towns in a scramble format. This Read more…
